In one of the Douglas Adams books, there was a side character who, unbeknownst to him, was Thor, God of Thunder. Â It rained every day of his life, wherever he was, because the clouds were just so happy to see the Thunder God. Â This man was horribly depressed.
I got to thinking about it today: in the last 10 years, since i have been growing big vegetable gardens and paying attention to such things, I have lived in Nebraska, North Carolina, and Ohio. Â 7 of those 10 years, no matter where I was, there have been long droughts through the summer months.
I only mention it because my house hasn;t seen rain in almost 2 weeks. Â It will be raining 10 miles away in every direction, but strange wind patterns blow that shit around me. Â I have been watching that phenomenon in 3 different states.
And now that I further think about it, at least one of those years with no droughts was in NC, and that was the summer we had 3 hurricanes in a row come through... 2005, I believe. Â It stopped raining from one and the other started the next day. Â So that hardly counts... one of my rivals for the Sun Throne was trying to smite me.

Eh. Â Weird coincidence happens all the time.
Used to live in Missouri ... donkey Senator from there died in a plane crash.
Move to Minnesota a couple years later .... donkey Senator from there dies in a plane crash.
Was making a couple long drives on separate occasions, from Minneapolis to Illinois, second was Minneapolis to Missouri. Â Big-ass rain storms come down on me as the sky opens up. Â Quickly checking satellite images from someone's smartphone kind of irked me, because the storm was in a shape just perfectly so that it covered goddamn near the entire driving route from one city to the next.
